otorcycles and bicycles go hand in
hand. That is why more motorcycle
manufacturers are crossing over
into the pedal-pushing world these days,
always trying to find a new niche.
I can't think of a single friend who rides
motorcycles that doesn't pedal when they're
not twisting a throttle. Most are into moun
-
tain biking and/or road biking, and many
are getting into gravel biking. I ride bicycles,
too, but my preferred style of pedaling is
a little different than theirs. My second
hobby is triathlon, and cycling is a big part
of triathlon. At least a third of it. That's
why you can often find me on one of those
spacy-looking bikes with funny handlebars
that traditional road bikers seem to loathe. I
learned long ago not to get my feelings hurt
when road bikers don't wave back to us
sleeveless heathens.
